Places I don’t hte pt. 3 Rostock is not my hometown. I grew up in a tiny village, framed by forests and fields and meadows. That is why I miss the freedom and the green probably more than other people who have grown up in a city. If you’ve grown up in a small village […]

With a population just under 100.000 people Schwerin is Germany´s smallest state capital. 91 kilometers; northwestern direction; less than a one-hour car ride, and you delve into a fairy tale, one starts in Schwerin and will end wherever you want to. The proximity to Rostock makes it a great choice for a day trip. Hence […]

My first blog entry about the lively Rostock harbour in Spring/Summer served as an introduction, or “appetizer“, for people interested in the genuine life of Rostock’s youth. In order to avoid possible accusations of being biased: Of course I am! I love the harbour! But the following paragraphs are not meant to be a “Travemünde-bashing“. Don’t […]

The past few weeks have been exceptionally warm and sunny in Rostock. Witnessing a heatwave always tempers my appetite for a solid meal, so I decided to have a lunch at Cado’s, my favourite crêperie in the Old Town district. I only know about Cado’s because a good friend asked me to join her for […]

As a group of four students: two of us German and the other two exchange students from Korea, we decided to create a little guide to show the latter two a local insight to Rostock. Check out our other blogs here and here. Q&A 1. I live in Erich Schlesinger Strasse. Where is the nearest […]

Due to the over-crowdedness at the beach and for the weather turning out to be quite hot, Vanessa and I decided to hit the tram back home and go for the Stadthafen instead. I am aware that there is already at least one entry about the Stadthafen uploaded (check it out here); however, since it […]

German Social Norms I Neither Get Nor Particularly Like If you’re in Germany in the summer, you won’t get around to seeing at least a few Germans barbecue outside. As soon as barbecue season starts, Germans tend to get crazy, there are portable barbecues in almost every supermarket, with sausages, pork, chicken and other meat […]

What I forgot to mention in my last entry is that Vanessa already graduated last year and therefore made her own student life experiences, just not in good old Rostock… So after our glorious night out, the next day started off with me hitting the A&E of the eye clinic, which is conveniently situated around […]

Using the bank holidays as a perfect excuse to have a proper catch up, Vanessa, a friend of mine for many years, decided to visit over Christi Himmelfahrt. For those of you who are not originally from Germany, this bank holiday is generally used by men to celebrate father’s day; however, there’s a strong […]

Since the internet is swamped with people, who needs to show how happy they are all the time, and how down to earth they are (while taking a sip from their over-priced-Starbucks-coffee-to-go-cup), finding peace in nature and meditations, I thought, there must be people who will love it in Glashagen. Glashagen is not far from […]

On May, 25th the Rostocker Artnight took place in the Old Town (by klicking on the link you find recent acitvities and events in the Old Town) where you could walk along the small cobblestoned streets and also into the Nikolai-and Petrichurch to look at new and old art from various local artists. The blue […]

Last Sunday, we got a visit from my best friend and her dog. Since the weather was sunny with a little wind, we were looking for an outdoor activity to which we could take her dog with us. Besides the typical suggestions like Warnemünde or the Harbour, which she has seen a hundred times, we […]
